Human Burials – Cremation Burial & Green Burials

At Morgan Oaks Eternal Preserve, we believe that every life deserves a respectful, meaningful, and environmentally conscious farewell. Our human burial options offer families the ability to honor their loved ones in a natural setting, surrounded by the serene beauty of Southern Oregon’s protected woodlands. Whether you choose a cremation burial or a full-body green burial, our preserve provides a peaceful, sacred space that aligns with values of sustainability, simplicity, and reverence for life.

Cremation Burial

Cremation burial is a beautiful way to return ashes to the earth while contributing to the preservation of our native ecosystem. Families can choose from a variety of biodegradable urn options, and cremated remains are buried in designated areas within our natural preserve.

We carefully prepare the site in harmony with the landscape, ensuring minimal disruption to the environment. Each burial is marked by a discreet natural marker, such as a native stone or plant, allowing loved ones to return and reflect in a space that honors memory while supporting the health of the land.

Green Burial

Green burial, also known as natural burial, is the most ecological form of human burial. It involves interring the body in a biodegradable casket, shroud, or simply placed in the earth without embalming chemicals or non-biodegradable materials. This method allows the body to return to the earth naturally, nourishing the surrounding environment.

Our green burial sites are nestled among old-growth trees, native grasses, and wildflowers. Each plot is mapped using GPS, and natural markers are used in place of traditional headstones. The result is a landscape that remains wild and untouched, blending your loved one’s legacy into the living forest.

A lasting Legacy

Choosing a cremation or green burial at Morgan Oaks means your final resting place becomes part of a living forest, protected for generations to come. With every burial, we preserve native habitat, protect local wildlife, and create a sanctuary for remembrance, reflection, and healing.

We invite you to walk our trails, experience the land, and explore the options available for yourself or a loved one. Our team is here to support you in making choices that reflect your values and honor life in its fullest expression.
